The second edition of ‘The World Offshore Operations & Maintenance Market
Forecast’ is now available. Over $335 billion is expected to be spent over the
next five years, with production services dominating this. The market is
recovering from the effects of the global downturn of 2008-2009, although O&M
markets are shown to be considerably less vulnerable to downturn than their
capital-led counterparts. Growth will be driven by a combination of needing to
operate and maintain a vast and aging infrastructure, high oil prices, buoyant
new offshore field development activity and rampant price inflation for
equipment and services.

Competitive landscapes - an analysis of the main contractors for
each O&M sector.
